Marc Morano of CNSNews.com had done an exposé last January of how Edwards used "junk science" in his cases. Stossel added to this, noting that "In a report released last year by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics, scientists now say the disease is seldom caused by anything a doctor does in the delivery room." But the result of Edwards-type lawsuits has been a radical increase in the number of caesarean deliveries, in order to avoid lawsuits. Since 1970 C-sections have gone from 6 percent of all births to 26 percent. Obstetrics professor Dr. Edgar Mandeville told Stossel, "And there has not been one small decrease in the cerebral palsy rate across the board."
